@inproceedings { , title = {Working with refugees an exploration through conversations and drawings.}, abstract = {While the experience of refugees is explored via various avenues, the voices of the workers who support their resettlement are rarely heard. Hence, rather than focusing on the Syrian refugees and their experience of settling in the North East of Scotland, this study considered the people who support them through this often long lasting process. Their voices were captured via an unstructured interview, but also encapsulated within drawings the participants were asked to produce. The drawings allowed the significant expansion of the often cognitively controlled conversations and permitted for emotions and affect to emerge. In some cases the drawings were a summary or an expansion of the narrative, in others a contraction, as the participants appeared to struggle between their professional identity, presented within the interview, and their emotional involvement, clearly visible in their drawings.}, conference = {2019 Indisciplines: research in arts practice conference}, isbn = {9788409215379}, note = {INFO COMPLETE (Info via contact 25/8/2020 LM) PERMISSION GRANTED (permission rec'd from info@campusdelesarts.org 6/9/2020 LM) DOCUMENT READY (AAM rec'd from contact 25/8/2020 LM) ADDITIONAL INFO - Contact: Lucia Ruggeron; Iris Altenberger; Charles Hackett}, pages = {242-252}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://rgu-repository.worktribe.com/output/963149}, keyword = {Visual sociology, Drawing, Refugee support, Qualitative, Emotions}, year = {2020}, author = {Ruggerone, Lucia and Altenberger, Iris and Hackett, Charlie} editor = {Swartz, Jeffrey} }
